I can sense his name irritates you, perhaps you can shed a light why he should not be read, and what is wrong with his methodology?

On the contrary I am recommending him. His methodology is the standard for evaluating if and how Mughals were exploiting peasants.

Both senior and junior Habibs are known to whitewash the Islamic invasion and paint a rosy picture of their rule. Their body of work is full of their own biases. Most of the time they fail to provide the primary sources.

What they do not explain this: Let's assume invaders(Muslims and Christians) came from outside, attacked, raped,killed only to make India a prosperous nation. But why they failed to do it to their native place?

Who in their right mind would believe this fiction propagated by the apologists?

You do know that he is a Marxist right

Why a Marxist would need to defend Muslim invasions? He is one of the many charlatans who posed as Marxist only to advance their agenda of Muslim glorification.

There are many such examples. Famous script writer Javed Akhtar propagated his faith,degraded other faiths and yet declared himself an atheist. How convenient?

How did Javed Akhtar propagate his faith?

Watch classics like Janjir or Sholey to understand it yourself. Some jems:

- Batch no 786 saves life but Hindu idols are lifeless with no power.

- Namaz is good but idol worship is waste of resources.

- Muslim are true to their religion but Hindus are greedy.

- Any Sikh has to be joker.
